Business cards are great......as of late I have been collecting random business cards (accountants, lawyers, retail shops, etc) modifying the ends, and making a Svengali Business card stack (with my card as the main one).....this allows me to finish with a svengali based routine, using business cards, and leave one as a souvenir.......has worked fantastic.

Moodini thats a great idea! I take my hat off to you.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

holy smokes!!! i did some face melting magic at the restaurant for some girls and they were not impressed at all :roll: can't please everyone i guess. in fact they were being well rude. one girl said, if you are really a magician tell me the future, so i told her in approx two seconds the magician will walk off and i did :lol: :twisted:

all those that believe in telekinesis raise my right hand!!!

You will run into this on occasion.....their loss really! I have found that the more confident I have become as a performer, the less this happens....be it from a wider repetoire, better performance style, or simply that I am getting to be a better judge of specs before I approach (likely a combination of them all I assume)....don't let them turn you off!

That my friend is one of the neatest and most versatile ways that I have come across for getting your card to a customer. Any effect that can be done with a short card can be used to get your card out.

Great idea, I will be stealing that
